Fortran/C code to read LV binary data?

[Andy Alexander]

Can anyone help with an example Fortran or C code to read Labview binary data for post-processing? I want to be able to keep data files compact. I've had no luck searching this site: sorry if it's a common question.

There's an example C program here. Also, part of the shipping documentation is an app note titled "LabVIEW Data Storage Formats" that you need to understand when you write your LabVIEW program to save binary data and when you write the Fortran/C program to read it.

And just to satisfy my curiosity, why do you want to use Fortran/C for post-processing instead of LabVIEW?

Thanks Dennis!

The data needs to be crunched on a workstation with programs already written in F77/C. I guess the real answer is laziness 🙂
